The hardest part of the game is sometimes you feel like you have to put up this facade to step outside your bounds to be a PUA. There sometimes feels like no normality with a lot of effort it can be forced.

I look at the guys from simple pickup. It looks good on youtube and has a lot of entertainment value. The great part is that they are able to illustrate any disadvantage a guy could have and use it to his advantage. Great tool for guys who don't have that approach confidence. But heres the thing that bothers me, it feels forced. And in with so much information about the community and methods and personal experiences to help each other out against the 30 second attention span. Black and white "simple" can get thrown out the window. Not to knock on what they do but I think a lot of guys do not realize that this is a show. You don't need to go out of your way and put on a costume to pickup women. What do they do with the numbers after they get them with this method?

The easy part for more experienced guys is to get the number, set the date or "hangout" and see what the interests are. There is a lot of anticipation there for both sides. So what happens when she is expecting the same person she met the first time? That facade can go away very quick. My question is how do we encourage ourselves to be ourselves within pickup and feel like we are not forcing ourselves be something we are not in order to get the girl.

Just to clarify I'm not an expert sometimes a try hard, but want to enjoy women.
